The Bing SEO Toolkit
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-interview-the-bing-teamlast guy to speak, tells about it
-
Thanks for your help, I will make it a priority to fix as many as I can each and every day. What tool were you using to find the errors?
You are right that I don't rank well for Calgary condos but the other sites are only marginally better.
-
you are correct, for most errors it would be worse if they were on the more impoartant pages.but the 3,000 leaks is just as imporant no matter where they are, as link juice flows though a site. if you get a link to page B it also helps Page A, You have a leak in B it also affect A.
blogs are most likly place to find errors as they are dynaicly produced, just like a CMS, and they usealy produce messy code
-
I am happy to start working on the issues as well. Now it will take time - a lot of time. But bit by bit, I should make headway. I think most of the issues are blog posts, do you think they have the same weight at the rest of the site?
-
There are more then a few technical issues. over 3,000 link juice leaks i found.
you are doing well as Real Estate is very competitive, but you could do better.
I use this analogy, if a fisherman has holes in his net, he needs to do more fishing then the man who does not. If you have violations in your site you need to do more link building. -
Ok thanks. Yes a few technical errors that I need to work on, other than the scan that is here, would there be more I can do to find more errors? If so where can I find out that info so I can work on those things.
My concern is that this site as well as a couple others that are currently below are working hard to get to the top and I don't want to find myself at the bottom of the page in the next while.
I wasn't overly concerned with Bing, maybe I need to look at it closer. I have been doing a slow clib there, so hope it continues to improve.

What are there keywords?
How do you do for calgary condos?
But you do well for calgary realestate, which is obviously a compeditive keyword
i did a scan on your site and it has a lot of technical problems, so i would not say you have an advantage there.
You do have a keyword domain name, i looked at a few others that have keyword domain and you beat all in rank and trust exept for calgaryrealestate.ca and they dont beat you by much. and they come just behind you.You may have other factors correct that google likes, i also notice you dont do well in Bing
i dont see a lot of suprise here. -
I actually beat them on all keywords so not sure how that goes with the theory. ?
-
Anthony is correct, they may not be optimized for the same keywords, they may beat you on others.
Also Page Rank and Trust are only one factor. No use pointing links at a site that is technicaly flawed, and many if not most sites on the web in my opinion are -
Maybe your link quality is better for the "keyword" you are using...My rookie guess...But, I would look at that including your anchor text from Higher Quality sites..
Just a thought...

Penguin Case Study: Need sites that were hit
I am currently trying to do a massive study on Penguin right now, you can read more about it here if you wish http://www.seomoz.org/q/my-penguin-recovery-attempt Anyways I need some data, can anyone who is willing give me a list of known sites that were hit from Penguin 1.0 Only. This can include the 2 Data refreshes after that, but basically nothing from 2.0 I also need a site in the same niche that you are aware of that did not get hit from Penguin 1.0. Possibly the #1 guy at the top would be nice. So I need Domains Hit from Penguin 1.0 Top Domains in same niche that were not hit You can send me a message with the domain if you are not comfortable posting it here. Thanks all ahead of time 🙂

How to Find Another Site's robots.txt File?
An SEO report, not by SEOmoz, says my top two competitors have robots.txt files that disallows spidering. I suspect that their robots.txt file doesn't disallow all spidering. How do I find out what is in their robots.txt files?

Keyword Search - another site bypassed me and they are not ranked well...
I was trying to optimize the keywords "music for kids" . This is a no brainer because my URL is "musicforkids" My On-Page Report Card for "music for kids" gives my site a "A". The on page report card for the other site gets an "F". But the other site comes up number ONE in the organic Google search and my site comes up number three. The two sites above me receive a crappy on page Keyword report for the key words "music for kids" but they still come up above me for that search term. What's the deal?

Should I link to this site or is it too spammy?
Hi all, I've been asked if I want to exchange links with http://www.myteetimesonline.com/ and I'm tempted but fearful that its link profile looks spammy. What do you guys think? I'm basically starting from scratch with my own site http://www.golfgear4you.com and have a Page Rank 0 and Domain authority 32. The guys that want to link to me are Page Rank 3 but Domain authority 35. Their content would be of interest to my site's users and vice versa but my biggest concern is their link profile looks awful because the sites that link to them don't appear to be very relevant. I've done a lot of reading on this and have found the resources on this site to be a goldmine. The generally message is avoid easy links to spammy sites because they could hurt credibility. I just want to check I've actually learnt something and my instincts about this site are correct. i.e leave it alone!! Thanks, Andy

IP Address Of Site
Hi there, really new to seo and loving being able to research everything on seo moz. I have a question about the ip address of my site: I use a company that sells templated real estate websites (I'm a realtor) and I'm noticing all of their websites show as having the same ip address. There are probably 100's of sites on their server targeting the same keywords as I am, would this affect my ranking at all? I'm just considering switching to a Wordpress site with a unique IP address, so I'm curious to find out how the seomoz members would answer this question. Cheers, Adrian

Site redirect
Hi, Our site www.suncamp.nl has, for language reasons, 2 redirects So : www.suncamp.nl is redirected with a 301 to www.suncamp.nl/nl/nl and is than redirected 301 to http://www.suncamp.nl/nl/nl/home/uc19-l1-n804/ My question is; is this bad for our SEO? Recently we've been doing a lot of linkbuilding and SEO copywriting, but in comparison with our competitors were lagging behind. So I'm looking for other bottlenecks. Kind regards, Dennis Overbeek My email: [email protected] ACSI
